First time buyers who are setting out on their very first property search should get some expert advice before setting out. It’s easy to get carried away while touring homes for sale and at the end of a long day you might realize that you have neglected to obtain the information that you really need about each property to help you make good decisions about which properties are suitable candidates for purchase. An experienced realtor who specializes in helping first time home buyers can provide specific house hunting tips to make your property search more productive. Your realtor will be knowledgeable about the city and its neighborhoods and local real estate market conditions, which can make your house hunting trip a lot less stressful. It’s likely to be a long day of touring, to make things easier when you are visiting multiple homes for sale your realtor might suggest that you should: • Wear comfortable shoes that are easy to remove, because repeatedly untying and retying your laces at each home will be time-consuming and leave you frustrated and towards the end of the day, possibly unwilling to go inside homes that don’t appeal to you from the outside; • Depending on the temperature and weather conditions, wear a coat that is easy to shed for the same reasons; • Bring a snack and a bottle of water to help you stay energized through visits to numerous homes, so that you don’t need to waste precious time stopping for sustenance; • Leave the kids at home. They are unlikely to enjoy a long day of touring multiple homes for sale and you can bring them to see any homes that you are seriously interested in later, because you will want to visit those ones again. The children can get a peek and offer their input during the second visit; • Create a checklist of the features that are important to you for rating the homes you visit. If you rely on your memory when you are touring multiple homes for sale, you are bound to forget the details and your head will be spinning by the end of the day, and • If you are moving to a new city, and plan a flying visit for the purpose of house hunting, you should establish a list (using MLS listings) of homes that you’d like to tour beforehand. Also, provide a copy of your checklist of priorities to your realtor so that they can alert you to listings that have recently come on the market and arrange to tour these homes as well. Purchasing your first home is a life changing experience, and many people become very stressed out during the property search. Try to relax and enjoy it! Knowledge and preparation are the keys to a positive and exciting house hunting experience as a first time home buyer. An experienced realtor, who specializes in helping first time home buyers, can help you with professional advice and house hunting tips on your journey to home ownership.
